Take Action on Radon

Radon is a human carcinogen that naturally occurs when uranium in soil and rock breaks down. The radioactive gas released from this process rises and can cause health risks when entering the home. Radon levels may vary in severity, which is why testing is so important. 

Step-by-step instructions will be provided with your radon test kit. In order to get an accurate reading, kits must be placed for a minimum of 91 days and no later than December 13, 2024. After the 91 day time period, return your kit to the Town Hall for shipment. Once analyzed by Take Action on Radon, a detailed report will be emailed or mailed to you outlining the radon levels and suggested actions. 

Take Action on Radon is a national initiative, funded by Health Canada, to bring together radon stakeholders and raise awareness on radon across Canada. For more information on this initiative, visit www.takeactiononradon.ca.
